STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 27 MARCH 2022

Introduction
 
In accordance with section 414c (11) of the Companies Act, included in the Strategic Report is the review
of the business, principal risks and uncertainties and key performance indicators. This information would 
have been required by schedule 7 of the "Large and Medium sized Companies and Group (Accounts and 
Reports) Regulation 2008" to be contained in the Directors' Report.

Business review
 
This business review covers the wider Aubaine group, of which Bravespirit is the main trading company. 
This period continued to be challenging under the covid restrictions and lockdowns across the year. We managed to improve revenue substantially the moment outdoor restaurant spaces were permitted to trade as the majority of our estate benefit from large terraces. Despite the effect of Omicron disruption, which materially impacted the 2021-2022 Christmas trading, during that period we managed to control our cost across the estate and build a resilient structure to cope with the unprecedented challenges.
The  group  has  been  able  to  utilise  the  support  offered  by  the  UK  government's  CJRS,  with  some  shop  staff placed on furlough where this was necessary. In addition to this the temporary reduction in the rate of VAT along with  rent  deferrals  and  incentives  have  contributed  to  an  increase  in  profitability  and  cash  generated  from operations for the period.
Although challenging market conditions look likely to continue, especially with the start of the war in Ukraine the group remains committed to profitable growth.
Performance for the group this year had been satisfactory considering Covid 19 restrictions, Brexit and uncertainties.
The group now operates six restaurants and a deli in central London; including Brompton Road, Selfridges,
Marylebone, Mayfair, Notting Hill, and Covent Garden. 
As the year progressed, sales momentum grew across our different formats to deliver a creditable performance despite the unprecedent challenges. This momentum has continued into the current financial year with trading above pre-pandemic levels, confirming the constant appeal of our restaurants and customers’ desire to continue to go out. The investments we have made in Marketing mainly our Social Media and Digital platform, have shown strong results. Aubaine culture contributes significantly to the success of the Group, we have great people and great people make a great business.
Our employees are encouraged to engage with customers and the local community to ensure every guest is happy .
We  will  continue  to  invest  in  our  existing  Restaurants to  ensure  our  offer  remains  flexible,  relevant  and differentiated in this competitive and uncertain market.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 27 MARCH 2022

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
Given the nature of the company's business, the principal business risks relate to the following:
• Supply chain 
• Energy supply
• Uncertain geopolitical situation
• Qualified staff shortage
• Recession/Cost of living
• Inflation across the board.
Various factors above are linked to Brexit and COVID19 Pandemic, Inflation and war in Ukraine the majority of impact is being felt at present, the present indications are that it is not necessarily beneficial to the sector. For example , Inflation, Energy prices, supply  chain  ,  recruitment  and  retention  of  workers  and  the  influence  of  uncertainty  depressing
consumer spending are all increasing demands on resources across the hospitality sector.
The above risks are partly mitigated by the following key measures:
• Continuous Creative menu engineering that delivers strong margins
• Strategic food and drinks pricing model to focus on value perception.
• Collaborations and partnerships with strong food and fashion brands to attract a range of new guests 
• Continuous supply chain improvement  through  discerning  sourcing  and  skilled  negotiation with
          suppliers and the favourable effect if economies of scale across the group
• Continuous focus on delivering an enjoyable experience to our customers at excellent value for money
• Competitive reward structures alongside a comprehensive training and development programme
• State of the art Digital and Social Media platforms

Disclosure of information to auditors

Each of the persons who are directors at the time when this Directors' report is approved has confirmed that:
 
•   so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are
 unaware, and 
•   the director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a director in order to be aware of 
 any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that information.

Post balance sheet events

Each of the persons who are directors at the time when this Directors' report is approved has confirmed that:
- so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are
unaware, and
- the director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a director in order to be aware of any
relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that information.
The Company continues to monitor the effects of COVID-19 outbreak which has been declared as a pandemic
by  the  World  Health Organization. The outbreak has not only prompted widespread health concerns, but has
caused recent deteriorations in global market conditions. The eventual outcome is highly uncertain and is largely
dependent on how successful authorities are at containing and managing the outbreak. 
 
The Board of Directors considers the emergence of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic to be a non-adjusting
post balance sheet event and hence any future impact is likely to be in connection with the assessment of the
fair value of assets and liabilities affected, in future periods investments at future valuation dates. 
 
There are no other significant subsequent events that need to be disclosed or reflected in the annual accounts.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BRAVESPIRIT LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Bravespirit Limited (the 'Company') for the period ended 27 March 2022, which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, the Balance Sheet and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 27 March 2022 and of its loss for the period then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.


Basis for opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Conclusions relating to going concern


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.


Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and  our Auditors' Report thereon.  The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report.  Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves.  If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.


Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:


the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.


Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BRAVESPIRIT LIMITED (CONTINUED)


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Discussions with and enquiries of  management and those charged with governance were held with a view to
identifying  those  laws  and  regulations  that  could  be  expected  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the  financial
statements.  We  also  evaluated  the  commercial  objectives  of  the  Company  and  assessed  managements
incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of results. During the engagement team briefing, the
outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where
and how fraud may occur in the entity.
Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial
reporting standards, Company Law, Tax legislation, and distributable profits legislation.
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and
non-compliance  with  laws  and  regulations)  comprised  of:  enquiries  of  management  and  those  charged  with governance  as  to  whether  the  entity  complies  with  such  laws  and  regulations;  enquiries  with  the  same concerning  any  actual  or  potential  litigation  or  claims;  inspection  of  relevant  legal  expenses for  evidence  of disputes or litigation; testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances and transactions which may be indicative of fraud.


A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 27 MARCH 2022

1.


General information

Bravespirit  Limited  is  a  private  limited  company  which  is  incorporated  and  domiciled  in  the  UK.  The registered office address is 7 Moxon St, London, United Kingdom, W1U 4EP. 

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);
the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.

This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of Aubaine Limited as at 27/03/2022 and these financial statements may be obtained from Companies House..

 
2.3

Going concern

The  company  made  a  loss  for  the  year  of  £464,429  (2021:  loss  of  £2,308,983)  and  has  net liabilities  of £14,835,470  (2021:  £14,371,041)  as  at  the  period  end.  The  company relies on a loan from  its  immediate  parent  company,  Aubaine  Limited,  to  fund  its  permanent  capital  requirements.
The directors have received an undertaking from Aubaine Limited that it will not call for repayment of
this  loan  made  at  the  balance  sheet  date  and  will  provide  any  financial  assistance  to  support  the business and its plans for future growth for a period of a least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Aubaine  Limited  is  reliant  on  its  shareholders  loans  for  its  permanent  capital  requirements.  The directors have received an undertaking from the shareholders of Aubaine that they will not call for repayment  of  loans  made  at  the  balance  sheet  date  and  will  provide  any  necessary  financial assistance to support the business and its plans for the future for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
On the basis of the above, the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial
statements on a going concern basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 27 MARCH 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

 
2.5

Operating leases: the Company as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
2.6

Government grants

Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to profit or loss at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the same period as the related expenditure.

 
2.7

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.8

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.9

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 27 MARCH 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.10

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
2.11

Exceptional items

Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.

 
2.12

Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings over its useful economic life.

Other intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

 
2.13

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 27 MARCH 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.13
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Long-term leasehold property
-
Straight line over the unexpired lease term
Plant and machinery
-
20 - 33
Fixtures and fittings
-
20 - 33
Office equipment
-
20 - 33
Computer equipment
-
20 - 33

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

 
2.14

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

Investments in unlisted Company shares, whose market value can be reliably determined, are remeasured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings for the period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historic cost less impairment.

Investments in listed company shares are remeasured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss for the period.

 
2.15

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 
2.16

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 27 MARCH 2022

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.17

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

 
2.18

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.19

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.


3.


Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the Statement of Financial
Position date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature
of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. On this background, the
directors consider there to be judgments applied only on depreciation policy of the fixed assets and the
depreciation rates are based upon the expected useful life of the assets. There are no other judgments in
any other accounting policies that might have a material effect on the balances held at the Statement of
Financial Position date.
